Our sincere condolences on the passing of Patricia! I Betty Dadd worked with Patricia at Dorchester & Morrison for many years before I moved to Windsor in 1988. Have many fond memories working with her as she was always trying to find me a husband! I was a single mother of two young girls and we used to go and swim in their pool. Your dad Cor and Pat were gracious hostesses we had a lot of fun with them. May your memories give you comfort at this time God bless everyone.

In loving memory ...
I/we pledge to make a memorial donation.
